To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FEANT HOLOUBE'K, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Nusle, near Prague, Province of Bohemia, Empire of Austria-Hungary, have invented newV and useful Improvements in Soap-Molding Batteries, of which the following is a specification.

@The present invention relates to an improved apparatus for cooling and molding soap.

The invention consists in the provision oi a plurality of molding-frames and coolingchambers forming when assembled a molding-battery adapted to receive the soap and cooling fluid and adapted to be readily disassembled when the soap is set or caked.

The invention consists more particularly in the provision of such a battery composed of molding-frames open at their sides and adapted when assembled with the coolingchambers to be closed by the latter to iorm the molding-cavities, the frames and chambers being alternately disposed, so that substantially the entire area of both sides of each cake of soap is exposed to the action of the cooling agent.

The invention will be more iully described in connection with the accompanying drawings and xwill be more particularly pointed out and ascertained in and by the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents in side elevation a form of molding-battery embodyin the main features of my invention,

the sane being shown ,mounted uponv a carriage and connected with sources of supply of soap and cooling iiuid. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the battery-carriage. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of one of the molding-frames. Fig. 4 isa vertical section of one of the cooling-chambers.`

As shown, the molding-battery consists of a plurality of rectangular molding-frames 6 and cooling-chambers 7, said frames being open at their sides and provided'with engaging margins 16. An inlet-nozzle 10,mounted on eachframe, deliversthe soap thereto. Near the outer ends ofthe upper wall of each trame two apertures 11 are provided in order to enable the operator to inspect the contents of the frame during the molding operation. I desirably provide slides 12.or closing said inspection holes or apertures.

Each of the cooling-chambers 7 consists of with agplurality of partitions 13 extending in opposite directions from the upper and lower walls of the chamber to provide a circuitous path for the cooling iiuid. By means of the partitions 13 the cooling fluid is caused to Apass throughout the area of the Walls 17,

thereby imparting cooling action to the soap in the most eicient manner. Inlets and outlets 14 and 15 are provided, as shown in Fig. 4.

To form the battery, the frames and chambers are assembled in alternate order and clamped together so that the chambers are compressed' tightly against the frames., and vice versa, a convenient device for this purpose being shown in Fig. 1, wherein clampingplates 4 and threaded rods 3, passing through supports 2 and rovided with hand-wheels 5,

are provided. n some cases it is convenient to mount the battery upon a carriage 1, provided with wheels adapted to run upon rails to enable the battery to be brought into registering proximity to the devices for supplying the fluid soap and cooling medium. As shown, one method of supplying said soap and cooling medium consists in providing a trough 8, `having valved connections 18 delivering to the nipples 10, and pipes 9, having flexible extensions 19 delivering to the inlets 14 of the cooling-chambers, the outlets 15 delivering to a common discharge.
